'For women, part of the story is about what social scientists call a “selection effect,” namely, women in healthy, safe relationships are more likely to select into marriage, and women in unhealthy, unsafe relationships often lack the power to demand marriage or the desire to marry.'
lack the power to 'demand marriage'?
and of course if they're with a bad boyfriend they won't desire to marry!
er, what? guy contradicts himself:
'But marriage also seems to cause men to behave better.'
and then:
'Marriage is no panacea when it comes to male violence.'

i have to say that while reading the op ed, the first thing i thought of was the FSM piece that showed global warming is directly linked to the number of pirates.
as piracy has dropped over the last couple centuries, temps have risen. so, to halt global warming, we need more pirates!
and props to the writer of the response for 'asspuddings'
